| A SMALL JOB... |
 |
| DONE WITH PRIDE... |
 |
| ...NOW LET IT RAIN! |
Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 71 degrees F, wind W, light to calm. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is the customary haze in the east. The humidity is 80% but the barometer is way up. We have had a few sprinkles of rain but nothing much is likely to happen today.
The heat broke, the rain held off and we (myself and Kenny Hunt, another old-timer) finished the grading and seeding job on 6th St. It was not a large job but it had its challenges, and I am convinced we solved some aggravating drainage problems. Kenny and I both take pride in our work, and each are grateful that we can still do it.
What motivates us? Pride, independence, stubbornness…the will to see a job through to a good conclusion…the desire to do it ourselves, without some government bureaucrat looking over our shoulder, telling us what we can and can't do. Maybe even make an honest dollar in the process. Are you listening, Mr. President?
